Where do mermaids really fit into everything?
The Legend of the Mermaid, a creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish, has circulated the worlds oceans as far back as 5,000 B.C. Babylonian mythology tells of the god Ea, later referred to as Oannes by the Greeks, who was depicted as having the torso of a man and the lower body of a fish. These unique creatures have been sighted in literally every ocean on Earth; accounts have come from such diverse geographical locations as Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The Ancient Philistines, and later the Phoenicians, considered a half human half fish named Dagon to be their primary deity.
Evan the Sumerians believed it was a mermaid who rose from the ocean depths to educate man kind. The Mermaid has been described as both beautiful and repulsive, with tempers to match. The diverse personalities of the Mermaid can be seen in the reported misanthropic deeds attributed to the Adaros and Sirens, or in the significantly more amiable personalities of the Nereids chronicle in Greek mythology.
One of the earliest scientific accounts of the mermaid was documented by the great historian Pliny The Elder in 586 A.D. Pliny the Elder was convinced of the existence of Mermaids and described them as rough and scaled all over. Since that time, and well before, thousands of sailors across the globe have reported seeing the Mermaid swimming off the bows of their ships. Even the famous Christopher Columbus reported an encounter with a Mermaid; in January of 1493 Columbus reported that he saw three Mermaids frolicking in the ocean just off Haiti.
